Based on a news special I saw I doubt it would help. From what they said they can get the code from your proximity at any time just by being near you. They said thieves typically do it when you’re near the car so they know which car they have the code for.

On my truck the alarm doesn’t turn on unless I lock it from the remote. That would leave it more susceptible to more common theft methods.

That was my first thought. How can they say for sure it hasn’t been used until they catch someone using it? As long as they get away with it there’s no definitive way to say how it was done.

I think this was pretty common in any car line that used the two-key concept. My dad got into a different person’s GMC truck in his work parking lot and only realized it was the wrong one after seeing someone else’s hat on the seat. Thankfully the ignition key didn’t work or he may not have realized it before pulling…

In some vehicles locking it this way keeps the alarm from being armed. That would make the car much more susceptible to more common types of theft.

I’ve seen one hot rod built using one of the reproduction 32 Ford bodies that used that motor for power. I didn’t get to hear it run though.

There are two 9-4x’s running around my area that I know of. I really hoped one would be up for sale awhile back when I was shopping for a used car to drive to work. In reality probably good that those two folks weren’t selling then. Oddly enough, I know one of the two is owned by a family that also had a 9-2x Saabaru.…

Hmm what other horrible tie ins can we think up??

Given that one of the other tugs we used was powered by a Chrysler industrial motor built in the late 40's I have little doubt.

An airport where I used to work had a 1978 CJ-5 that they had bought new and used as a tug. I worked there in 2000, and I was still going strong. It only had about 40,000 miles when I was there; almost all in reverse with a load attached to the front bumper.

I bow to your greatness. I do however e the owner is given more than just a stern warning.

Thank you so much for the info!

I believe the only element left is fire. Dibs on selling canned fire as the hopefully must have gift next year!

My personal favorite memory of the last type of scam you mentioned is from about 15 years ago. I was heading home from my gf’s place and stopped for gas in a shady part of town. A guy comes up to me telling me he “just needs a couple bucks to buy coolant for his overheating car.” Well, this man was in luck! My car…

What happens to trapped raccoons varies from state to state. Several states have designated areas where they can be relocated. Conversely, the state where I live requires them to be put down due to high rates of rabies.

Is there a certain age the trees need to be? There’s a large, old sugar maple in my front yard. If one older tree will give me something worth harvesting I may need to give it a try.

My grandparents have gotten that call four times this year. They quickly discovered it was a scam since they don’t have a computer or an internet connection for the “service” to detect an issue with.

Sadly I bet they come with legal documents similar to what came with the couple of aircraft I helped tow to the school where I went for my A&P certification. They basically stated that the aircraft could never be sold, transferred, or flown (driven in the ev-1's case) at any point in the future. By sold or…

The listing does say frequently abused by alcohol. Though I guess like most used items we purchase it may still be better than what you have now.

I’d be willing to bet that the only reason this car has a clean title is because the owner was in a single vehicle accident and decided to “repair” it himself instead of reporting it. The work seems to be well done, but he still cut into the structure of a unibody jeep.
